My sister-in-law from Qingdao

"I've already come all this way, and you still want to kick me out? That's so inhumane."

Even if I have to sleep on the floor tonight, I'm not leaving.

Tang Yanran's face softened slightly as she stood up, came to my side, gently took my arm, and rested her head on my shoulder.

"I knew you couldn't bear to part with me. Consider it an apology for lying to you last time, and I owe you one. Tonight, you can do whatever you want. Just make a request, and I'll grant it."

I have to admit that if you remove the word "love," Tang Yanran is truly an exceptional woman.

Even years later, I still think about that girl.

In this society, there are many women who are very beautiful and have sexy, slim figures, but they just don't understand romance.

This won't work, that won't work, and men won't experience true happiness.

This kind of woman is no different from the dead salted fish in the vendor's hand.

A woman who cannot satisfy a man is not a good woman.

A man who cannot make a woman feel happy is a failure.

Love.

It's neither that noble nor that pure.

Sometimes, the more you do it, the more you love it; that's a truth.

Tang Yanran and I lost our appetite for drinking; I didn't even take a shower.

We walked hand in hand to the bed.

What followed was utterly appalling.

When I opened my eyes, it was already five in the morning.

"Chen Dong, I think you should leave."

"They're letting me leave at only five o'clock?"

"Yes, you can't let others know you're here, because you're part of a tour group. You'll have breakfast together and then take the bus to the exhibition hall to set up the exhibits."

If you're late and your colleagues ask you about it, what if you let it slip?

I thought what she said made a lot of sense, so I quickly got up and put on my clothes.

Just as I was about to leave, Tang Yanran hugged me from behind.

"Honey, I don't pry into your company's privacy, but may I make a request?"

"Can."

"Would you be willing to come and keep me company often these next few days? It's only five or six days anyway, so you can come whenever I miss you, okay?"

I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Damn it, I'm a man, I won't lose money no matter what I do.

"You're such a good man. Okay, you can go now. I'll sleep a little longer and just take a taxi to the exhibition hall."

The woman kissed me again before taking my arm and seeing me out the door.

The sky was not yet fully bright, but the east was already white.

Guangzhou was relatively quiet, and I sat lazily in the taxi.

The excitement I felt when I took a taxi here last night is gone; I feel a bit disappointed.

I slept with Tang Yanran last night. Did I really get my revenge?

It seems not.

I have this feeling that she took advantage of me again.

I can't worry about that anymore. Life is short, and I don't have a wife or girlfriend anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?

When I returned to Meiyuan Villa, my roommate was still fast asleep. I lay on the bed for a while, and then I heard a commotion outside. I knew that our group was getting ready to go to the hotel across the street for dinner.

I quickly got dressed, did a quick wash, and sent a WeChat message to Zhao Lina.

I met Zhao Lina at the hotel entrance.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw her.

What happened to this girl last night? Her eyes are swollen like peaches, and she's not wearing any makeup.

The moment she saw me, she lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Zhao Lina subconsciously shook her head and said, "No...it's nothing, I'm fine. Let's go eat."

The two of us followed the Shandong group to the hotel across the street.

The hotel's second-floor lobby has many round tables for a buffet, featuring purple sweet potatoes, pumpkin, steamed dumplings, noodles, boiled dumplings, steamed buns, rice, and a variety of side dishes.

It's not exactly high-end, but it's very abundant.

Zhao Lina and I picked up some food from our plates and found a corner to sit down.

I wanted to hear her talk about setting up the exhibition today, but she kept her head down and remained silent.

This is in stark contrast to her behavior last night.

"Master, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, you don't need to go to set up the exhibition today. I can do it myself. Just tell me how to do it."

Zhao Lina shook her head, chewing on a piece of pumpkin, and said somewhat unclearly, "It's okay, let's go together. We can't let company matters be delayed."

Seeing her like this, I felt it wouldn't be appropriate to ask any more questions, so I didn't.

Her eyes were swollen like peaches; something must have happened.

Could it be that her parents are experiencing health problems, or that something has happened to her siblings?

Or perhaps she is feeling unwell.

Before I could think too much, everyone finished their meal and went to the bus at the entrance.

Zhao Lina and I sat in the last row; she sat inside and I sat outside.

I was looking at the scenery outside the window, and Zhao Lina was also looking at the scenery outside the window.

Through the reflection in the glass, I saw that her gaze was very vacant, and for a moment, tears almost streamed down her face.

Once we arrived at the exhibition hall, at our exhibition space, we laid out the samples one by one.

The exhibits were set up in just one noon.

The afternoon was free time. I wanted Zhao Lina to show me around some more, but she seemed very down and went to her room in silence after we arrived at Meiyuan Villa.

Since they don't want to tell me anything, I won't ask any more questions, since we're just colleagues.

Just as I was about to go out and enjoy the scenery of Guangzhou by myself, my phone chimed with a WeChat message from Zhao Lina.

"Chen Dong, what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything, Master, is there something you need?"

"Why don't you come with me? I want to go to the pharmacy."

"Master, where do you feel unwell?"

"I'm fine, you can come with me. Let's go downstairs, I'll wait for you at the front door."

I quickly put on my t-shirt and shoes and ran downstairs. I saw Zhao Lina standing at the door, wearing a t-shirt and jeans, with a small umbrella in her hand.

When I ran over, I saw that her eyes were still very red, as if she had been crying.

"Master, what happened? What's wrong? Tell me about it."

"It's okay, nothing's wrong. I'll just take up about ten minutes of your time. You don't need to say anything, just follow me."

The more she said that, the more confused I became, so I had no choice but to follow her forward.

Arriving at a large pharmacy, she hesitated at the door, biting her lip, looking extremely troubled.

"Master, what's wrong? Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll go buy you the medicine you need."

Zhao Lina took out 100 yuan from her pocket and handed it to me.

"Chen Dong, could you please go in and buy me two emergency contraceptive pills? I'm really sorry."
